London Tides - Carla Laureano

London
Tides - Carla Laureano

Hmmmm….where do I begin?London Tides wasn’t quite what I
expected.I am still trying to decide if
that is good or bad.I didn’t realize
it was in a series, and I found myself breaking MY rule of reading books out of
order!

Grace made decisions when she was
younger that led her down more than one rough road.These rough patches led to a horrible case of
PTSD, and away from her soon-to-be husband, Ian.

Ian is
almost 40.He has settled into a mundane
life of rowing, work, and an occasional date.Born into money he doesn’t have to work, but he still hasn’t decided
what he should do when he “grows up”.

What I
liked:

-Ian looked past what his “upper crust”
expectations of what an “acceptable” mate would look like – and act like.

-Asha, Grace’s friend, loved well.

-Ian’s friends were willing to say the “hard
stuff” to him.

-Humanitarian needs were discussed and talked
about in this book.

-I did like the ending.(You are welcome for the lack of a spoiler!)

What I didn’t like:

-David C. Cook is a Christian Publishing
House.God wasn’t mentioned much – or at
all – until very close to the end of the book.Ian and Grace had lived together earlier in their life.Then at the end of the book, they talk about
God, there wasn’t anything that mentioned how they found their faith.

-Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a good
kiss!I did like it only contained
kissing, and they would stop before things got out of hand.However, it wasn’t mentioned why they stopped.I mean, they did previously live together!I would have like to have been informed about
their new found convictions.

Soooo…you will have to read it for your self and form an
opinion for yourself.I am NO help with
this one…..However, I think I WILL read the third book in the series.

About Me

I am a chicken! I am not a risk taker. I am trying to take baby steps towards becoming less "chickeny"! I am a wife of 1, mother of 4 ages 26-18. Jesus follower, homeschool mom, history teacher are all samples of titles I would put on myself. I love to laugh and learn. When reading I usually have a 5 chapter rule. If I am not hooked by the end of the 5th chapter, I move on to the next book. Fortunately, I never find myself with nothing to read!
